Remember check yourself well plus towel dry vigorously sp? They are tiny suckers about the size of a ball point pen dot. Tuck your pants legs in socks if possible. It is 24 hours they have to be attached. And jjust because you find one doesn't mean it has lymes disease. Could always put the tick in a jar if you do find one attached to you.

I've been looking for permethrin....... where do I find it? Wally world doesn't carry it up here in Canada[&:]

This is the stuff I use, have'nt had a tick since. And where I hunt they are thick!!
